As
I continue to sacrifice my Fourth Amendment rights while I take off my
shoes and subject myself to being x-rayed and illegally molested by TSA
officials at the airport, I am constantly reminded of the threat that
violent jihadists pose to Americans everywhere. However, not all jihadists
are tasked with the commission of perpetrating mass murder upon the citizens
of Israel and America. Many jihadists have altered their modus operandi
and have subsequently adopted a type of stealth and cultural jihad as
evidenced by excerpts of the following Muslim Brotherhood 2007 strategic
memo which states that "The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand
that all their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating
and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable
house…"

Omar
Ahmad, co-founder the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), made
his anti-Christian bias crystal clear in a July 4, 1998 San Ramon Valley
Herald article in which Ahmad stated "Islam isn't in America to be
equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be
the highest authority in America." This philosophy, commonly dubbed,
Sharia law, is being systematically implemented right under our American
noses and in a multitude of local venues.

Nowhere
is Sharia law being imposed upon the American people with greater vehemence
than in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn resident, eighteen
year old Negeen Mayel, whose parents escaped from Afghanistan after the
Russian invasion, couldn't escape the Sharia law-enforcement arm of the
Dearborn Police Department. Mayel, a Christian, was filming her four fellow
Christian missionaries while they were discussing the Gospel with Muslims
at the annual 2010 Dearborn Arab Festival. A Dearborn police officer ordered
Mayel to turn off her camera and when she didn't turn it off quickly enough;
she was arrested and charged in the Dearborn District Court for failing
to obey a police officer's order. Amazingly, in his court testimony, the
arresting officer admitted that the filming by Mayel was indeed not a
crime.

A growing
number of Americans are slowly becoming cognizant of the threat being
posed by the imposition of Sharia law upon an unwilling and often unaware
non-Muslim American public. In the 2000 census, Dearborn consisted of
30,000 Arabs in a city of 100,000 people. This fact alone is not alarming.
But what is alarming is when the mayor of Dearborn, John B. O'Reilly,
Jr., an attorney who should know better, is catering to this growing minority
as the city of Dearborn is offering preferential treatment which favors
Sharia law advocates over Christians and other non-Muslim Americans. In
the case of Mayel, the Dearborn police, with the approval of the mayor,
replaced the Constitutional protections offered by the First Amendment
with the creation of free speech zones which are inherently free speech
inhibitors. As such, Dearborn's mayor officially endorsed the Sharia law
prohibition against proselytizing Muslims in stark violation of the First
Amendment to the American Constitution which protects free speech. Subsequently,
the Dearborn police, acting as Sharia law enforcement agents, handcuffed
and jailed all four Christian missionaries and formally charged the group
with Breach of Peace despite the fact that none of the Muslim attendees
claimed any level of harassment by the Christian missionaries.

In response
to the protest which followed the Mayel's group arrest, the Dearborn mayor
issued a press release in which he alleged that "….thhey (act)
with the intent to disrupt a local festival and misrepresent facts….."
The mayyor seems to be saying that preaching the Gospel constitutes a
gross misrepresentation of facts and the filming of the preaching is disruptive
to the public order. Mayor O'Reilly went on to defend the arrests by stating
that the Christian missionaries were 30 feet outside the free speech zone
provided by Dearborn city officials. (Funny, I thought the entire country
was a free speech zone.) Mayor O'Reilly must have been absent that day
in law school when his law professor discussed the First Amendment.

The
persecution of Dearborn's Christians even extends into the Dearborn Public
Schools as Dearborn's teachers and coaches are not even afforded a free
speech zone from which to espouse their beliefs. Consider the case of
Gerald Marszalek, a 35 year veteran wrestling coach in the Dearborn Public
Schools, and an inducted member of the Michigan High School Coaches Hall
of Fame, was fired from his coaching position by Fordson High School's
Principal, Imad Fadlallah. Fadlallah allegedly retaliated against Marszalek
over an Islamic student's conversion to Christianity despite having no
direct proof that Marszalek acted illegally or was in violation of any
school district policy. The Marszalek case is being adjudicated in U.S.
District Court of Eastern Michigan.

The
radicalization of American communities does not begin and end with Muslim
radicals in the Dearborn Public Schools or in the Dearborn mayoral office,
nor does it end with the police department in Dearborn. This brand of
extremism disturbingly extends directly into our Federal Courts. On March
3rd, the 13th Circuit Court Judge, Richard A. Nielson, recently ruled
that a civil suit between the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, Florida
and four of its trustees (Case number 03-03497) be remanded to another
venue. Judge Nielson did not remand this case to another court of law;
rather, the Judge ordered that the suit be settled under "Ecclesiastical
Islamic Law." Ecclesiastical Islamic Law is a euphemism for Sharia
law and the Judge has apparently created a de facto "Court of Appeals"
in which the Constitutional prohibition which formerly separated church
and state has been flagrantly violated. In effect, Judge Nielsen has legitimized
the tenets of Sharia law as a legal precedent to adjudicate civil disputes
in America involving Muslims. Perhaps at some point in time, Judge Nielsen
was John O'Reilly's law school professor.

Can
one imagine the outcry if the shoe were suddenly placed upon the other
foot and a Muslim missionary was arrested for peacefully espousing his/her
faith at a Christian event? Imagine the indignation of the ACLU and the
liberal media if a stellar Muslim wrestling coach was removed from his
position by a Christian principal under the same set of circumstances
as in the Marszalek case?

Today,
a growing number of Jews, Arabs, Christians, non-Muslims and Muslims have
set aside their differences to join together in a concerted effort in
order to thwart the growing threat of Sharia law and global jihad. It
is time that all Americans, regardless of their ethnic or religious background
join this movement to preserve what is left of the United States Constitution.

No reasonable
American would ethically or legally challenge the right of any religious
group the freedom to practice their religion. In fact, most Americans
would defend to the death the right for any religious group to practice
their faith including those persons belonging to CAIR. However, even the
legitimate application of multiculturalism does not and should not advocate
for the establishment of another parallel supreme law of the land, much
less a system of beliefs that would supplant the United States Constitution.
However, it is happening here and now and the encroachment of Sharia law
upon the Constitutional liberties of Americans is a growing and persistent
threat.

The
right for any Muslim group to practice and enforce the tenets of Sharia
law should be honored and protected, but the practice should effectively
end when it reaches the end of my constitutionally protected infidel nose.

of “The Common Sense Show” is to provide the listening audience
with the tools necessary to reclaim both their individual freedoms and
national sovereignty.
